Film is a huge part of my life, but Ledger was a talent I recognized early in his career, and am now imprinted with every performance. Unfortunately, with him gone we will never see where his talent meant to take him. My friend, and colleague who also works for Dish, also recognized the unique talent of Mr. Ledger. We have always had a weekly movie night, and usually we stick with a theme that moves us. I subscribe to Blockbuster @Home, so I think we will honor Heath Ledger by engulfing ourselves in his hard work as an actor. It's easy enough to relax, and enjoy the unbelievable talent of someone as beautiful as Heath Ledger.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16482950532268328191noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4784665635104956142.post-86935864376729293012012-04-06T16:57:56.996-04:002012-04-06T16:57:56.996-04:00@Diana Too bad indeed, so much talent, so much cha...@<a href="#c5202656920745812380" rel="nofollow">Diana</a> Too bad indeed, so much talent, so much charm.

I honestly don't think most people were ready for what Ledger did in Brokeback.

It's still so hard to believe that he's gone. <br /><br />Completely agree that without him, 10 Things I Hate About You would never have been so memorable. Definitely need to re-watch as many of his films as I can lay my hands on. <br /><br />Out of curiosity, have you seen Two Hands? Way, way, way early film of his, a local production. I think (and don't quote me on this) that was the one that got Hollywood's attention.
